Please fix the battle pass my goodness it sucks
How many hours do you have to put into this thing. I've paid for it but have no chance of getting the stuff I've surely bought. You really need to improve it. Thanks

Yeah but I don't think you can really blame people for not sitting down and figuring out how many hours play it would take to unlock everything... and tbh I didnt see that mentioned anywhere obvious in the passes advertizing ot sales pages. I think that is what the OP is upset about, not the content but the fact that it takes a lot of hrs in game to get it all.
Balancing battle passes is difficult, you have to accomodate the streamers who play 8hrs a day and the casuals who may only get a few hrs a week. I can understand that someone who purchased the pass and will only get to level 60-70 by the time it ends may be a little upset, especailly given the majority of the content isn't exactly wonderful.
I think when selling these things they should make it clear on average how much playtime it will take to unlock everything.
@d3adc3II If you're going to start a post by being that condescending, you should maybe not follow it up with a bunch of complete nonsense. I personally agree with you on the level that with a total of 3 months to unlock all I would expect most people not to have too much of a problem with that... but that said,you and your gfs personal subjective anicdoatal experience doesn't prove any objective truth either, so in other words, you have nothing to explain and took a long time explaining it.
If the OP feels the pass is grindy and worries that they won't get all the content in time, then nothing you or your gf did/experienced changes that, In the end you cannot present your experience as the standard or null hypothesis by which things should be measured, you can't say the OP is wrong to feel this way. And citing other battle passes you think are more grindy is not only subjective but also a dreadful example of whataboutism, once again, proving nothing about this specific case.
My only comment really was I think it would be better if they were clearer and more upfront about exactly how long the battle pass would take to unlock, which, so far as I can tell is not the case. 7-10 hours a week playing one video game may be a lot to some people, even if not for you, and if they worry they wont have the time to get everything they paid for that is a real concern... why should they not simply get everything on the pass when the time is over whether they made it through all the levels or not? I don't believe this is the case with Apex, or with most battlepasses, and imo it is a perfectly reasonable question to ask, even if to you it isn't important or relevent.
I don't really think the BP should be "changed" at this stage, but I do think that they should be much clearer about the time investement it takes, and I certaintly think people shouldnt lose what they paid for because they didn't have enough free time to get it within the BP period.. There are a lot of trends in modern video-game monetization which are imo disgusting and anti-consumer, and the BP is but one of those. Practices which would not be accepted in any traditional businesses... imagine you bought a car where the ariconditioning would only work if you drove a minimum number of miles a week!!
